What We Do

MiraVia develops pathways for enhancing professional growth for beginning and experienced educators. Our work, based on a theory-driven and field-tested model of learning, applies to students, teachers, and school leaders across a variety of settings. Our products and seminars put theory into practitioner’s hands, with accessible applications for your current work and future learning. This integrating quality presents a comprehensive and coherent framework for both classroom and adult collaborative practice. Our approach emphasizes the importance of creating and sustaining learning-focused classrooms, schools, and districts.

Learning that lasts requires a combination of hands-on experiences, demonstration, guided practice, and worksite application with feedback. Our multi-day professional development offerings, interactive keynotes, and the publications that support them, provide each of these elements and create powerful results for implementing and sustaining effective practices and improving student achievement. We provide four strands of seminars and products for supporting you in this important work: Leading Learning Focused Teams, Facilitating Learning Focused Data Work, Conducting Learning Focused Conversations, and Creating Learning Focused Classrooms.
